A Teeny Tiny Book of ‘Life’s Lil Pleasures’

Sometimes the smallest things in life are actually the most meaningful. For illustrator and animator Evan Lorenzen, that includes creating very very tiny books. The Denver, Colorado resident has created a exceptionally small read called ‘Life’s lil Pleasures’. It’s filled with just a few pages, but takes us on a meaningful journey from those small but inspiring events, to some which would make you laugh, to some which are utterly bizarre. I love it.

None of his one-off books (hand illustrated with pen and ink) are larger than 1 inch tall. Many are inspired by mythology and medieval woodblock prints.

Lorenzen only recently started crafting “micro handmade-books”, but he already has a good collection going. We like his ‘Mini Book of Major Events‘ and his ‘Field Guide to Cereal‘. They are so good, I hope he creates an entire mini bookshelf of his excellent work.
